[PATCH net-next 3/3] tcp: implement head drops in backlog queue

[Eric Dumazet]

Under high stress, and if GRO or coalescing does not help,
we better make room in backlog queue to be able to keep latest
packet coming.

This generally helps fast recovery, given that we often receive
packets in order.
